FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The NMD_R1 'Core Black Red' are lifestyle trainers designed primarily for comfort and style in everyday wear. While they offer cushioning and support, they are not engineered for the demands of serious running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the knit material?
It is best to spot clean the knit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the fabric. Always air dry.
Can I swap out the heel patch for different designs?
Yes, the heel overlay features a Velcro patch that can be replaced with other compatible patches, which are sold separately, to customize the shoe's appearance.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a breathable knit textile, providing a comfortable, sock-like fit.
What colors are available in this model?
This specific model, 'Core Black Red', features a black upper with scarlet red accents and three-stripes. Other colorways and variations may be available within the NMD_R1 series.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the knit textile upper is breathable and not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions; avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The sock-like upper is designed to be snug; if it feels excessively tight, try wearing thinner socks. If too loose, consider using an insole for a tighter fit.
Discoloration on the knit upper.
Spot clean gently with a mild soap and water. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for knit fabrics, following product instructions carefully.
Difficulty attaching or removing heel patches.
Align the patch carefully with the Velcro area on the heel. Apply steady, even pressure when attaching. To remove, lift a corner of the patch and peel it away slowly and deliberately.
